[QUOTE="Malika, post: 697729, member: 11227"] In fact (as always), things are more complex and less black and white than they might appear... People/experts disagree about exactly what Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is and why it arises, and not everybody likens it to psychopathy in the sense that some believe Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) can be "cured" with the right support and treatment. I have done some research in the area but I cannot pretend to have a detailed knowledge... and not have I ever seen or met in the flesh a child who had the kind of stunted conscience and affect that is described in severe Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). As for J, he has been handicapped by my inability to find, despite quite intense trying in three countries, the right support and input for him. His behaviour has in some ways got worse and more intense but on the other hand, he begins to show insight into himself and his difficulties. He has begun to be able, in certain situations and if he sees the benefit in doing so, to control his emotions and his anger and to walk away rather than exploding. This is a glimmer of hope for the future. [/QUOTE]
